. ==================== Notion – San Francisco ====================

"We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us"

The goal is to democratize software. Quite a shame that 30 years into personal computing, an average person's interaction still caps at word-processing. We'd like to change that.

A beautiful loft/artist office in the Mission. Best investors out there.

You will be part of the founding team. You need to be able to make or design things and think conceptually.

Product Manager Fort Lauderdale, FL

Hello Show is a new real estate application that is transforming the way real estate agents communicate and schedule. The application has created an easy to use scheduling and showing process for all parties involved through a secure mobile messaging platform, property detail organizer, route planner, and an automated agent-to-agent scheduling system.
